Ok! Lets try. |Stuff deleted here...{ Well, first of all, my Amiga decided that my boot partition (dh0:) was no longer a DOS drive, so it refused to read/write it. I recovered all the dh0: files with DiskSalv (thanks Dave) and backed up dh1:. I then formatted the entire drive with the Map option on (using SupraFormat) to map out the bad sectors (I know this wasn't absolutly necessary, but I did it anyway). I restored dh0: with the DiskSalved floppies. Then, my Amiga refused to boot from the HD, instead asking for a Workbench disk. It seemed to only partially use the Workbench disk because my startup sequence on dh0: was being executed. Anyway, I was trying to fix my boot problem by using SupraEdit. When SupraEdit was run, it would tell me: Warning: Found invalid FileSysHeaderBlock structure. Ok, this is something I have also encountered with my Supra Harddrive. The problem is (I suppose) that you have also formatted whole bootpartition info. You can write it again with a program called SupraInstall (or something like that) and it can be found from original Supra-bootdisks! I tried coping dh0: to dh1: and changing dh1: to my boot partition, but it still wouldn't boot from the HD. I played with SupraEdit some more, changed my boot partition back to dh0: but nothing seemed to work. Yes, it won`t help. ok, the real problem: The last time I ran SupraEdit I got the following messages: Warning: Found invalid FileSysHeaderBlock structure. Warning: Found invalid LoadSegBlock structure. Yes, looks very familiar from my experience. And now, when I try to boot the system I get a GURU!!!! I can't even boot from floppy! The GURU number is #81000005.000007D8. WHAT'S GOING ON???? This is certainly something, I haven`t seen. I dunno anything about this!
